The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has pledged the 13 members-elect from Rivers State to Tajudeen Abbas, the anointed speakership candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC)—noting that he will not allow the repeat of the 2015 experience.
Mr Wike, a governor under the main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), made the pledge on Friday in Port Harcourt when Mr Abbas and the leadership of the Joint Task Group visited him as part of the ongoing campaign.
He said he would be joining the campaign after leaving office as governor on Monday. He said he would help to avoid the repeat of 2015, where elements within the ruling party collaborated with the minority parties to elect the leadership of the National Assembly.
